This milter adds (Matomo)[https://matomo.org/] tracking parameters to e-mails sent to specific e-mail addresses. This makes sense if you are running a Mailman mailing list as an announce-only mailing list.
It wouldn't be hard to modify for Google Analytics tracking. In fact, since
Matomo can be configured to use Google parameters (utm_content, utm_campaign,
etc) that should probably be the default.
Tested with a Postfix mail server.
These instructions are for a RHEL or CentOS system, as that's what I was working with at the time. In particular steps 5 and 6 are likely to be different on your system.
- Modify the configuration portion of the script.

sudo -u analyticsmilter /usr/bin/python /home/analyticsmilter/analyticsmilter.py
If you send an e-mail to one of the e-mails specified in Step 1, you should be able to see the milter working in real-time!
